rurals & excursions

INDONESIA RURALS

By Reggie Marasigan, 3rd year College student from the University of Santo Thomas

 

It was such a good way to start the month of June with a trip to Indonesia for a rural service project along with friends here in the Philippines (Nats, Sophie, Cathy, Cookie, Bella, Andie, Tina, and the Yuppies) and friends we are grateful to have met from Singapore (Len, Faith, and Patricia). From the airport, it was already such an adventure as we tried to run to the gate in order to get on the plane on time. And we did successfully get to Surabaya, Indonesia! It still felt like home...

DAVAO RURALS 2014

By: Angela Azurin, 3rd year student in PAREF Woodrose High School

 

Davao Rurals was an amazing experience for me. I was able to met new friends, see new places and even learned the value of loving our "pambansang wika." The trip was also FUN and very exciting because I was able to bond with others, especially those who weren’t part of my age group. While teaching the children in Davao, I felt that I was really reaching out and helping the less fortunate. What I found quite amusing, however, was that the kids we taught loved us so much that they even added us in the Facebook accounts! Now, that’s what I call a dedicated student!

Truly, this year’s Davao rurals was an experience one won’t regret participating in!

Last March 31, I joined several other students from Grade 7 to Year III in this year's Rurals activity in Balete, Batangas. This year's Balete Rurals was definitely a remarkable experience, giving me the chance to build friendships with people from different batches and at the same time helping me enjoy giving to others through several of our activities such as teaching grade school kids.

 

TRAILBLAZER 2014
By: Justinne Katigbak, Camper incoming Grade 7

 

     Trailblazer was an exciting experience. Every day had a different activity for us campers.

 

     The first day, we had sports, interest clubs, and colour group activities, which became opportunities for us to bond with girls from other batches. The colour activities also taught us important things like teamwork and cooperation! That night, we had our elegant dinner or Athletes’ Banquet, where we got to dress up in nice dresses and saw other people showcase their talents such as singing, dancing, playing the violin, and even tap dancing! After our dinner, we had our campfire. The staff also introduced to us the “murder game,” an exciting activity that will last the whole duration of the camp. Our second night....
